Chapter 185: The Little Fat Sheep Sent to the Door
Esengard did come to Ian on purpose today.
Master Gosai had talked to him about many tasks this morning, and had many instructions on his part, one of which was to contact Ian to inform him that he had been selected for the exploration team and to give him some information he needed to know.
So the blonde boy came to look for Ian with two guards, only to find that the white appraiser had already left and headed outside the city gates.
Isengard felt that it was not a shameful thing for him to find someone, so he directly asked the doorman Ian's whereabouts, and by the way, he sprinkled a lot of thaler - to the point that it could not be said that the doorman revealed Ian's whereabouts, mainly because Ian himself did not hide, and in order to attract possible enemies, he even deliberately and generously told others where he was going.
So Isengard and his party followed all the way, and even the proud tracing methods of the guards were useless, and they heard the gunfire of the natives on the edge of the fog forest.
When he heard the gunshot, Isengard was still a little unresponsive...... Could it be that there are convoys fighting the natives around here? It's a fierce fight.
As a result, the guards immediately became serious—although these veterans who had been on the battlefield had not experienced such a shootout for a long time after joining the Eren family, they still knew very well the differences in firearms in various countries.
"This is the seventh generation rifle of the Flying Flame Land...... It can penetrate five millimeters of alloy armor, which is not small. ”
A dark-skinned guard whispered, "Port Harrison doesn't have this kind of firearm, the situation is strange, young master, let's go back first?" ”
For them, the safety of Isengard is of paramount importance.
"No, we have to go and see how Mr. Ian is doing, he is the main point of this mission!"
But Isengard was apparently a dead brain, and he was still thinking about his own tasks.
The two guards glanced at each other helplessly, and then moved forward with their young master, and also took out a folding shield and similar ...... from the weapon box behind them No, it's a shotgun firearm.
They advance fast, but some fight faster.
By the time the three arrived on the battlefield, Ian had already finished killing.
At this moment, Isengard stood in a daze in a corner of the forest, looking at the many corpses and the white-haired boy among the blood.
Because of the rapid battle just now, the cheap hair rope broke, and his long white hair was scattered behind his shoulders and waist. Ian was now sheathed with his sword, his clothes and hair stained with a lot of splattered blood, but his long hair and skin were fairer.
Tucking the hair that covered his cheeks behind him, the young man stood generously in place, looking at the three of them, and in his blue eyes, the clear water-colored halo was gradually fading.
"Several."
He looked at Isengard with a smile and said calmly, "Is there something wrong with coming to me today?" ”
With his words, the miasma of fog around him, which was about to close, was expelled, and this sudden change in essentia made both guards nervous for a moment - according to their information, it was theoretically impossible for Ian, who had only been a Wave Singer for a short time, to have this kind of control.
Unless......
The other party is a triple genius in terms of alchemy, inscription and sublimation skills!
"This must be reported to Master Goser and Master Pat." The guards swallowed, confirming the idea.
But Isengard didn't think so much about it.
"That's amazing!"
He exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful...... It's comparable to my brother! But you're a lot younger than your brother......"
Speaking of this, the blonde boy realized that he was a beat slower, and then hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I have something to look for you today...... So I followed, but I didn't expect you to be attacked......"
He looked down at the mutilated corpses of the natives around him, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Maybe it's not an attack for you. ”
For the peers in front of them, such a dangerous attack is no different from flying a few mosquitoes and flies.
"It's an attack, it's already an unexpected danger today, and I didn't expect anyone to want to kill me like this."
Ian shook his head slightly, he didn't go near Isengard, because the guards on either side of the blonde boy were clearly very wary of him...... Of course, no matter how good-looking he looks, it is impossible for any guard to let a dangerous person who has just killed a dozen people covered in blood come into contact with the object of his protection.
As for why Isengard came to him today, although he didn't know it, he felt that it was just right.
- It just so happened that I also reminded him of the crisis he might encounter...... I haven't gotten the credit for being a knight yet, and the boss can't die first.
Regardless of what the Ellen family, Viscount Grant and the Imperial Capital were thinking, Ian's goal was simple: he wanted to take a little credit from the Ellen family's mission, and then get the status of a knight, and then find an opportunity to go out on a tour to study.
Port Harrison and Southridge were big, but they weren't big enough for him to be the stage...... At least, in his capacity, in this port that belongs to the Grant family, he can't play to his full strength.
The Ellen family was his first springboard, and compared to the ill-intentioned Patrick and the almost impossible Master Gosser, Isengard was a target that could be 'induced' a little.
However, Ian does not despise the other party - as a disciple valued by Master Gosai, a genius who is also quite accomplished in alchemy at a young age, Esengard may have a little worse EQ, but his IQ is definitely qualified.
It's just that Ian is interested, but it doesn't mean that other people are interested.
Moreover, if the IQ is enough, it does not mean that he will use it.
Ian froze, but the blonde boy ran up on his own, the guards behind him looking incredulous but unable to stop them—Isengard was faster than they were.
Isengard had planned to see if Ian had any injuries on his body, and he happened to have medicine on him...... But after looking up and down, he found that although Bai Zhimin in front of him was covered in blood, there was not even the slightest wound on his body, and the blood was all from other people.
Moreover, Ian's essentia fluctuations were very stable, which made Ethan, who was very keen in this regard, instinctively feel a little weird...... In any case, according to the output of the ordinary first energy level, no matter how talented Ian is, after killing more than a dozen people, the essentia in his body will appear to fluctuate a little because of the operation.
Unless...... The source quality and essentia channel of the person in front of him have been tempered to a fairly high level......
After Ian coughed softly and noticed that it was rude for him to do so, Isengard took a step back with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry...... I took the liberty of coming to look for ...... without asking for instructions."
He bowed his head and saluted apologetically: "Uh...... I should call you Mr. Ian...... Or call it a guide......"
He obviously had something on his mind, and he was a little stuck in the middle of his words, and fell silent.
"Either way. Since it's a private visit, just call me Ian. ”
Holding his hands behind his back, he signaled that the two helpless guards were indeed not hostile.
The young man Bai Zhimin's eyebrows raised slightly, and he answered just right: "May I ask what is the matter with coming to visit today?" ”
After hearing Ian's question, Esengard slowly adjusted, and his words flowed again: "Okay, Ian...... It's a bit presumptuous, but allow me to call you by your first name. ”
"I'm here today because there are some things, and I want to ask you, an appraiser who is familiar with the surrounding situation in Port Harrison, to analyze ...... for me."
"Well said. How much is the honorarium. ”
Ian raised his hand and interrupted Isengard's words, and the blonde boy was puzzled and angry for a moment, even a little confused, and didn't understand why Ian interrupted him, and asked for the reward so bluntly.
But soon, noticing the gestures of his guards and the corpses and wreckage in the surrounding area, he realized that he had made another mistake, and his ears turned red: "Ah, yes, yes...... The issue of honorariums is indeed important...... As for the details of the commission, I have found a private place to talk about it in detail! ”
"It's easy to say that the honorarium is good, you can trust the reputation and financial resources of the Ellen family!"
Taking a deep breath, it was probably the first time in recent years that Isengard, who had left his elders and took the initiative to 'socialize', seriously invited Ian: "I wonder if you would like to talk?" ”
"Of course."
Now that there is a fat sheep in front of him, Ian readily agrees.
After the young man Yu cleaned up the wreckage of the battlefield with the guards, and brought all the alchemical firearms and firearms with him as the trophies and 'evidence' of this battle.
He returned to Port Harrison with Isengard and went to the Gull Pub.
